Attorney Availability:NA
Defendant Name:BCSO, Deputy Dekiller @BCSO Legal
Incident Date: 26th June, 2025
Date of Service: 23rd July,2025
Name of Person Served: Psymon Strange
Reason for Suit:
While evading law enforcement, my client was shot by deputies who opened fire on her vehicle, striking both her and a passenger. The use of deadly force in this context was excessive, unjustified, and a violation of her Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizures.Following this my client was subjected to repeated harassment by deputies. When she attempted to file a formal complaint, she was ridiculed and intimidated by the same deputy involved in the original misconduct, who actively interfered with her right to report. This retaliation further violated her civil rights and underscores a broader pattern of abuse and lack of accountability.
Evidence:
Arrest Reports: 37323, 37324
Medical Report: 42349

Jack Davis
Mark Wheeler
List Damages:
Tort: Battery- $40,000, 4th amendment violation- $40,000, Infliction of Emotional Distress- $40,000, Punitive $88,000, Filing fee $2,000

Motion to Dismiss

I hate these, but here we go - as outlined in the following points:

Claims of unreasonable seizure under the 4th Amendment.
See: Scott v Harris 2007 - The use of deadly force by law Enforcement during a high-speed pursuit that presents a clear and present danger to the public is not a violation of the suspect's 4th Amendment right.

As per the report, individuals were in a boosted (stolen) Monster Truck, actively driving at high speeds on Great Ocean Highway while ramping up and over barriers designed to separate lanes of travel to ensure public safety. Suspect vehicle acted in a way that experienced Officers saw fit to end said pursuit in the only recourse they have, that being firing upon vehicle tyres. Be mindful that suspects were in a stolen MONSTER TRUCK. These vehicles are not possible to PIT without severe risk of injury to the officer attempting the apprehension; suspects were advised that they would be fired upon and this was not heeded. Both the plaintiff and their passenger plead Guilty to evading; they knew what they were doing and willfully participated in it, they also plead Guilty to Grand Theft Auto.

Tort: Battery.
As stated above, the State believes Officer use of Force was lawful as per the aforementioned case law Scott v Harris 2007.
Claims of Emotional Abuse/Misconduct.
The claim of being unable to file a formal complaint is spurious at best, malicious at worst. It was myself that took the complaint from the plaintiff, I took this up with the Deputy involved as discussed. I'm curious why we're openly lying on a docket posting for the sum of $40,000 for something that simply didn't happen.
Punitive Damages.
I'm once again lost for understanding why these measures are being discussed bar point 1 and 2. I will take this time to pick holes in the medical report helpfully provided as evidence. How on earth is the State supposed to believe that an 'infected gunshot wound' has anything to do with this incident vs any other incident the Plaintiff has been involved with? How precisely does a 'Doctor' make the diagnosis of 'got shot by police' - as far as I'm concerned, Law Enforcement don't engrave bullets with their respective agency name. Perhaps most damning of all, the allegation over infection suggests poor treatment by the 'Local' Doctor. Again, this is not the fault of Law Enforcement but rather someone that can NEVER be brought to court for malpractice? Convenient.

Sharpe out, I hated this.

Kye Evans

Ill make a short and sweet rebuttal.

There is no where in that report that is stated that this was a high speed chase. There is no where mentioned that it was on great ocean highway itself, but off road as mentioned in the report. Off road, no high speed? Scott v. Harris does not apply. Driving up a mountain does not cause danger to the public.
Read number 1.
The claim is true as the plaintiff met up at Davis and was met with at the time acting sheriff DeKiller herself who was determined to get the complaint herself, only after the plaintiffs lawyer requested someone else did a team of command and then some show up to take the complaint.

Oliver Knight

Motion to Compel Discovery
The complaint taken from the plantiff and any documented actions taken from it.

580 A. Sharpe

Oliver Knight

Report given verbally. The State is not going to release 'documented evidence of actions taken'.

Theodore Lars

Response to Entered Evidence

The Medical Report is hereby stricken from evidence.

We all know they got shot. Nurse Nancy can not be called as a witness. The PD is not responsible for gunshot induced infections if they shot and then transported to Pillbox without other actions to suggest they caused it.

Theodore Lars

Motion to Compel denied.

Write a subpoena before you sue. All I as a judge would know exists is an arrest report and the officers will know if a report of the complaint was written down.

If you believe some other report was written about the incident, write a subpoena, and I approve a compelled response, either an actual record or a reason it could not be provided.
